"You decided to wait until I had done the unpacking for you until I'd got the valuables nice and handy for the robbery in the lonesome cabin that I'm building for myself in the woods." "That's about the size of it," acknowledged Nick. "An' now you're warned." "Forewarned and forearmed," returned Kiddie. "I shall be prepared, you may be sure. And you can expect a hot reception.
Kiddie was silent for some moments as they crossed the clearing in front of the cabin. But at length he said "Rather a tall order, Rube, my lad. And it's not just like teaching you to master a bucking broncho or to trap beaver. It's a longer process. But at least it's an experiment worth attempting, and we'll try it together."
"You c'n see the bottom of the lake fathoms an' fathoms beneath us," he said. "Yes," agreed Rube, peering down into the transparent depths. He raised his head and added: "You was sayin' th' other day, Kiddie, that no white man, an' p'r'aps no red man either, had ever lived in these parts in ancient times."
Furiously, as she stared, the red blood came flushing back into her face. "You don't mean for a second that you that you love me?" she asked incredulously. "No, I don't suppose I do!" acknowledged the Senior Surgeon with equal bluntness. "But my little kiddie here loves you!" he hastened somewhat nervously to affirm. "Oh, I'm almost sure that my little kiddie here loves you! She needs you anyway!
"Most wood does all that grows about here," Kiddie affirmed. "Why, do you suppose, your men with edged tools took the trouble to cut down a big tree like that, and not make any use of so much valuable timber?" Rube shrugged his shoulders. "Now you're askin' me a conundrum I can't answer," he said. "No," returned Kiddie; "because you've got hold of the wrong idea.
If you want to know what they do accidentally discover about Kiddie himself and how excited every body becomes as the rare news spreads from mouth to mouth, you will find that and many other remarkable things about him in this interesting story of his life in the Maple tree that grows in Farmer Green's yard. You will like Kiddie.
One still had a patch of sticking-plaster across his cheek which Kiddie himself had put there over an arrow wound. When they were gone outside he turned to Nick. "Any partic'lar reason why you and your convivial guests should hide your countenances behind masks?" he inquired in a casual tone, glancing about with curious calculation.
Worley. I nodded that I understood that. "We were bathing the baby our first wee kiddie and the Amah seemed to have an unusual inclination to talk. I had been joking with her and asked her if she did not want to buy Clara Gene. In fun we started the characteristic Chinese haggling over price, she trying to 'jew' me up and I trying to 'jew' her down.
She will have a bad time at first getting used to American children and their ways, but I want to knock off about ninety years from her score. She is too old for any use. It's awful to see a kiddie so settled and grown up." "Mrs. Hargrave is just the one to have her then," said Rosanna, "because Mrs. Hargrave isn't any age at all, really.
He seemed to be particularly interested in Abe Harum, who was feeling in one pocket after another. "Lost your pipe, Abe?" Kiddie inquired, thrusting a hand into his own side pocket. "No," Abe answered. "I got it in my hand. I was feelin' for my matches." "Oh, then," returned Kiddie, withdrawing his hand and producing a briar, "this ain't yours that I found?"
